Decided to test out some of my favorite sealants. Hood was polished with duetto and rupes yellow pad/polish
Then wiped down with optimum paint prep and an arctic white towel.
Optimum Opti-Seal, Paint Protection spray sealant
Poorboy's World EX-P Pure Sealant
Blackfire Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint Protection
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
Applicators are same ones I would or have used with each product.
Removed with the gold cobra mf towels, clean side for each wipeup.
each product applied per manufacturer recommendations
Wolfgang was removed after 50 mins sitting, exp 30 mins (i like to let it sit), blackfire cured afrer about 5 mins.
I will let them cure for 24 hours in my garage and then do a beading test.
*might as well make this a bit of a contest between the products
Parameters: touch (initial&post 24hr), ease of use, shine, beads, sheets, durability
(a scale of 1-4 pts for each category)
To the touch so far (post application but not all cured yet) id say touch slickness goes to
Wdafpp
Then close 2nd wolfgang
Third is the buttery EXP
Optiseal still slick but not near as much as bf or wg
Ease of use is pretty obvious but application method aside, curing time and time before removal are real problems one encounters so that is how I have weighted these
Optiseal wins of course (dries immediately- i've even used it in the sun for years with no issues)
Then EXP (super easy to use in garage or sun- you can let it sit longer before removal but about 5-10 mins is all you need (you can remove directly after application if in direct sunlight if you want)
BF WDAFPP third and
last is WG Deep Gloss simply because of the 30-45 minutes recommendation before removal
Shine: tbd
Beads: tbd
Sheets: tbd
Longevity: tbd
wash duty will be weekly rw with wolf's mean green.
beading pic to come after curing
